Part of the idea behind this post is to force you to make up your mind.  So, again, what's your favorite song (SINGULAR!!!).

Oh, and even if it's not up to snobbish standards, please post a link to the song (video, streaming, legal download. . . if any or all exist).

Did You Ever Have to Make up Your Mind?

Had to think a moment on this, so many choices ...... but then it was like the proverbial light bulb (no longer in production    )

I saw Iron Butterfly in concert near Washington, D.C, circa 1969 or 70.  Was deeply disappointed.  Boring show.

Damndest thing, Thunderbrick!  I saw The Dead open for Iron Butterfly in St. Louis ('68?) and they blew them away!

Oh yeah, favorite song: " Dark Star" _ The Grateful Dead

Never was taken with the Dead, but I was a much bigger fan of Quicksilver Messenger Service.  I have a torn up LP of theirs I'd like to replace.  Anybody got an dupes?   

Somewhere in my basement I have negatives of the Iron Butterfly Concert.

Final favorite?  Probably Nessun Dorma, but I don't think the Dead released that one.
